Next with reference to Fig. 6 and Fig. 7 A to 7H, the sequential operation according to second exemplary embodiments of the present invention is described.Here, operation is carried out to M8 with eight kinds of pattern M1 successively, and can revise by the operation of switch.The phenomenon of " the LC resonance " mentioned here is not continuous resonance, but switch Xr, Yf, Xf and Yr when being operated voltage that combination caused or the electric current of inductor L1 and L2 and panel capacitor Cp change.
In the second embodiment of the present invention, if all be switched at pattern 1 (M1) beginning preceding switch Ys, Yh, Xg and Xl, so the Y of panel capacitance Cp and X electrode voltage Vy and Vx be maintained respectively Vs/2 and-Vs/2.The induction coefficient of inductor L1 and L2 is all represented with L.
In pattern 1 (M1), shown in Fig. 6 and 7A, by connecting switch Ys and Yh and switch Xl and Xg respectively, the Y of panel capacitor Cp and X electrode voltage Vy and Vx be maintained Vs/2 and-Vs/2.Identical with the mode described in the pattern 1 (M1) of first exemplary embodiments, by floating voltage source V1 and V2 switch Yl, Yg, Xs and Xh are clamped to Vs/2 respectively.Shown in Fig. 7 A, when switch Yf and Xr connect, formed current path P1a, order comprises earth terminal 0, switch Yh, floating voltage source V1, switch Ys, inductor L1, switch Yf and earth terminal 0; And current path P1b, order comprises earth terminal 0, switch Xr, inductor L2, switch Xg, floating voltage source V2, switch Xl and earth terminal 0.The voltage difference of two kinds of current path generations causes injection current among inductor L1 and the L2, therefore flows into the linear ratio of slope of electric current I L1 and IL2 and the Vs/2L of inductor L1 and L2 respectively.
In pattern 2 (M2), shown in Fig. 7 B, switch Ys, Yh, Xg and Xl are disconnected, and produce current path P2, it comprises switch Xr, inductor L2, panel capacitor Cp, inductor L1 and switch Yf in proper order, and causes the LC resonance current by inductor L1 and L2 and panel capacitor Cp.Because resonance current, the Y electrode voltage Vy of panel capacitor Cp reduces, and X electrode voltage Vx rises.Because the body diode of switch Yl and Yg and Xs and Xh, these voltage Vy and Vx are no more than respectively-Vs/2 and Vs/2.
In pattern 2 (M2), when electric current flows to inductor L1 and L2, LC resonance takes place, thereby respectively Y and X electrode voltage Vy and Vx are changed over-Vs/2 and Vs/2, even because the parasitic component in the circuit has increased conversion ratio.
In mode 3 (M3), as shown in Figure 7, switch Xs, Xh, Yg and Yl are switched on, so the Y of panel capacitor Cp and X electrode voltage Vy and Vx are maintained respectively-Vs/2 and Vs/2.Electric current I L1 flows into inductor L1 and by path P3a compensation, this path P3a comprises the body diode of switch Yl, body diode, inductor L1 and the switch Yf of floating voltage source V1, switch Yg in proper order.Electric current I L2 flows into inductor L2 and by path P3b compensation, this path P3b comprises the body diode of body diode, floating voltage source V2 and the switch Xh of switch Xr, inductor L2, switch Xs in proper order.
In pattern 4 (M4), as the electric current I L1 that flows into inductor L1 and L2 and IL2 during to 0A, switch Yf and Xr are switched on.Shown in Fig. 7 D, because switch Yl, the Yg, Xs and the Xh that connect, the Y of panel capacitor Cp and X electrode voltage Vy and Vx maintain respectively-Vs/2 and Vs/2.
In pattern 5 (M5), when the Y of panel capacitor Cp and X electrode voltage Vy and Vx maintain respectively-when Vs/2 and Vs/2, electric current flows into inductor L1 and L2.More particularly, shown in Fig. 7 E, switch Yr and Xf are switched on, and form path P5a, and this path P5a comprises earth terminal 0, switch Yr, inductor L1, switch Yg, floating voltage source V1, switch Yl and earth terminal 0 in proper order; And path P5b, this path P5b comprises earth terminal 0, switch Xh, floating voltage source V2, switch Xs, inductor L2, switch Xf and earth terminal 0 in proper order.Because the voltage difference that these two paths form, electric current I L1 and IL2 flow into inductance L 1 and L2 respectively, and with the linear ratio of the slope of Vs/2L.
